A Scottish family driven from home by a Highland feud sails for South America, stopping at Rio before journeying inland to the pampas of Argentina. There the brothers build a house, lay out gardens and run an estancia, surviving a tragedy at a roadside fonda, an attack by Pampa Indians and the snakes, storms and seasons of a new country.
